Product details

14-Position PCB Terminal Block with 5.08 mm Pitch

The TE Connectivity Buchanan 1-796949-4 is a 14-position, single-level PCB terminal block on a 5.08 mm pitch. It terminates wires via a rising cage clamp — the screw tightens a clamp that pulls the wire into the current bar, giving a gas-tight connection across 12 to 30 AWG. The black polyamide housing carries the side interlocking feature, letting you snap multiple blocks together into a single gang for multi-circuit runs.

17.5 A at 300 V — What the Ratings Mean

That is enough for a motor branch circuit or a power supply output — not a signal line. The 300 V rating is the max working voltage between adjacent circuits, which the 5.08 mm pitch supports with standard PCB creepage. The brass contacts are tin-plated, which is fine for the screw-clamp termination but limits mating cycle life compared to gold — not an issue here since the wire is terminated once and left.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 1-796949-4 compatible with 12 AWG wire?

Yes, the wire range is 12-30 AWG, so 12 AWG solid or stranded wire fits the rising cage clamp.

Does 1-796949-4 have an interlocking feature?

Yes, the side interlocking feature lets you snap multiple blocks together into a single gang for multi-circuit runs.

What is the difference between 1-796949-4 and 1-796949-2?

The 1-796949-4 has 14 positions; the 1-796949-2 has 12 positions. All other specs — pitch, current, voltage, termination, interlocking — are identical.
